Egmont
National Park, covering over 33,000 hectares on Mt Egmont
/ Taranaki is home to several drives and walks. One of the
most popular destinations of the National Park is Dawson
Falls - a most enjoyable drive
up the mountain and through Egmont National Park. Dawson
Falls themselves, although popular, are surprisingly secluded
- perhaps on account of the less-than steady steps on the
way down. While the steps on many of the mountains in Switzerland
Switzerland
may be much better maintained, they lack the charecter and
charm of walking through native bush and, of course, that
elusive "untouched" bush feel. The waterfalls?
Well, watch the video and see for yourself .........
